Description
|
||||
|
||||
The lzlib compression library provides in-memory LZMA compression and
|
||||
decompression functions, including integrity checking of the
|
||||
uncompressed data. The compressed data format used by the library is the
|
||||
lzip format.
|
||||
|
||||
The functions and variables forming the interface of the compression
|
||||
library are declared in the file lzlib.h. An usage example of the
|
||||
library is given in the file main.cc.
|
||||
|
||||
Compression/decompression is done by repeteadly calling a couple of
|
||||
read/write functions until all the data has been processed by the
|
||||
library. This interface is safer and less error prone than the
|
||||
traditional zlib interface.
|
||||
|
||||
Lzlib will correctly decompress a data stream which is the concatenation
|
||||
of two or more compressed data streams. The result is the concatenation
|
||||
of the corresponding uncompressed data streams. Integrity testing of
|
||||
concatenated compressed data streams is also supported.
|
||||
|
||||
All the library functions are thread safe. The library does not install
|
||||
any signal handler. The decoder checks the consistency of the compressed
|
||||
data, so the library should never crash even in case of corrupted input.
|
||||
|
||||
Lzlib implements a simplified version of the LZMA (Lempel-Ziv-Markov
|
||||
chain-Algorithm) algorithm. The original LZMA algorithm was designed by
|
||||
Igor Pavlov. For a description of the LZMA algorithm, see the Lzip
|
||||
manual.
